JustRite Mega Font Blog Hop

Welcome to the first ever JustRite Font Blog Hop. This is a 2 day event. If you missed yesterday, go to the end of this post and check out these amazing and talented ladies.

I have always had fun with the font sets. I think it is because there is no coloring involved and everyone loves to get something personalized. At first the tiny letters were intimidating but after using them for a while it got much easier.

Be sure to read all the way to the bottom of my post for a "mystery surprise" and a sale.

For today's project, I chose to make a scrapbook page showing all the school year pictures of my oldest daughter Heather. She is now a Junior at college. Time flies by so fast. I look back at these photos and can't believe that it has been that many years ago.

All of the photo frames use the Small Letter Set mounted onto the 1 5/8" wood stamper. After each frame was stamped, I diecut them using the Spellbinders Classic Circle Nestabilities. The blue and white scalloped mats were diecut using the Spellbinders Petite Scallop Nestabilities.

This is the view of the back of my stamper. The letters are very easy to put into the grooves and they stay there until you take them out. For Heather's Elementary School pictures, I was able to keep the bottom portion of my stamper the same for all 9. For her High School photos, I only had to load the school name once for all 4 years. All I had to do was to change the top half of my stamper. This makes it very easy to do fast, multiple stamping.

The center photo is Heather's Senior Yearbook photo. The labels "Senior" and "Dirigo High" were stamped using the Times Roman 50 pt font, diecut using the Spellbinders Tags 5, and attached to the page using brads.

To finish off the page, I added Kaiser rhinestones on each side of the photo frames.

JustRite is celebrating their Mega Font Hop (a 2 Day Event with 54 designers)in style with a Super7 Day Font Sale. Take 30% off all JustRite font sets and the Horizontal and Veritical Font Stampers. Sale begins Sept 17th and ends Sept 24th. Don't miss out on this terrific opportunity. A word of advice - be sure to buy more than 1 of each set. Reason being is that if you load a stamper with a particulary phrase, you may want to keep it on the stamper for future use. So if you have more that 1 set of a particular font, you will always have the letters you need.

I love this Angela! I want to do this with both my boys . . . what a wonderful way to document each photo as they grow from year to year. Stephen's a sophomore in college now, Daniel's a junior in high school . . . the time flies way too quickly . . . I want my toddlers back . . . . sniff . . . sniff . . . sniff.

That is a fantabulous project!! I might have to make one of me for myself - although it's been a number of years since I was in high school ;) It will be fun to reminisce over the bad school photos! Thanks so much for sharing!!

You should frame this piece for all to see! What a great idea to see how much she's grown thru the years. You could even do this with Easter, Christmas, Halloween & other holidays, too! This actually makes me want to get back into scrappin'.

I love your idea! With a couple of graduations coming up this year this would be perfect gifts! Even a great one for weddings. One of the groom growing up and one of the bride? Font sets really are where it's at! Ellek

StatCounter

In the spirit of full disclosure, I am currently working as a freelance designer in some capacity for JustRite Papercraft. While I am compensated by them in some form, I maintain the freedom as an independent designer to say what I truly think of their products. I will never recommend something that I don't personally use and enjoy

About Me

I live in the beautiful western mountains of Maine. I have been married to my wonderful husband Mike for 18 years. We have two daughters – Heather, 26 and Emily,15 and now we have a beautiful granddaughter named Skylar. I have always done some form of crafting thanks to the inspiration of my mom and grandmother. I began scrapbooking shortly after my youngest daughter was born. I am a scrapbooker at heart but after I was introduced to stamping and JustRite Stamps in 2008, I was transformed into a card maker as well! I love taking a simple piece of paper and transforming it into a work of art.
